“We spent 4 nights / 5 days at Lion Sands’ Tinga Lodge over Christmas. Timeless Africa Safaris assisted us in booking a truly amazing trip. We were a party of 8 and everything went smooth from flights to transfers. Even when two people in our party had trouble with flight connections they were quick to jump in and sort it out.

Tinga lodge exceeded expectations. From the accommodations to the food to the service. Four seasons quality all day long.

I would recommend Timeless Africa Safaris and their property recommendations/ choices to anyone looking for a truly memorable trip to Africa.” Van der Linde Family

Wondering if you can go on safari with kids?

Here’s why 10-year-old Leah thinks your kids will love safaris too:

"Hi, I’m Leah (that's my sis and cuz in this pic)! Safaris are my favourite thing ever, and I think your kids will love them too. Here’s why:

• You’ll get to meet loads of fascinating people who speak different languages and share amazing stories.
• You’ll spend sunny days outside, running around and exploring—so much better than being stuck on a screen!
• You’ll learn super cool stuff firsthand! Did you know there’s a tree you can use as a toothbrush? Or that you can figure out which animals are nearby from their tracks (or even their droppings)? Gross, but surprisingly cool!
• Every game drive feels like a treasure hunt—spotting baby elephants, shy leopards, and more.
• Safaris are the BEST way for families to laugh, play, and make unforgettable memories together.

Want to know how magical safaris can be? Get in touch with my grandpa’s team at Timeless Africa Safaris—they’ll even ask me for ideas to make your family's safari as special as mine!"

🌍 Why Africa Should Be Your Next Solo Travel Destination 🌍

Solo travel is more than just an adventure; it’s a journey within. Africa, with its vast wilderness and rich cultural tapestry, offers an unparalleled solo travel experience. Whether you’re trekking with gorillas in Rwanda, exploring Cape Town’s vibrant streets, or sailing on Lake Malawi’s pristine waters, the continent has a way of awakening something deeper.

At Timeless Africa Safaris, we believe solo travel in Africa provides the perfect blend of personal discovery and community. Imagine sharing stories around a campfire after a day of wildlife encounters, or kayaking in the calm waters of Lake Malawi as you reflect on your journey.

Safety is always a top priority, and our curated safaris ensure you feel secure every step of the way, allowing you to focus on the adventure ahead.

From gorilla trekking in Rwanda to hot air balloon rides over the Serengeti, Africa offers endless possibilities for solo explorers.

Every corner invites reflection, every encounter builds connection, and every moment offers a chance to rediscover yourself.

Zita's safari continues: "An early wake up call brought much excitement with Paul our safari guide and Jeff our tracker. We took a game drive through the Matetsi Private Game Reserve and then hopped off the vehicle to explore the Reserve on a walking safari.

Paul and Jeff ensured our safety at all times, while we learned about the various plants and traditional remedies used by the local villages. We even came across a herd of elephants that had no idea we were actually there thanks to Paul and Jeff's many years of experience. Oh, and swipe to see the cute ellies having a mud bath

We ended the day with a sunset cruise on the Zambezi River. There simply is nothing quite like an African sunset and the silence and tranquillity that being on the water provides.

✨ Almost home time, but looking forward to heading out to Vic Falls, watch this space"

Cape Town is more than what meets the eye—it’s a city that engages every sense, drawing you into its rich tapestry of flavours, sounds, scents, textures, and sights.

Take a journey through Cape Town with all five senses, discovering a side of the city you may not have experienced before.

🌊 Taste: Start in Kalk Bay or Simon’s Town, where freshly caught hake and slap chips serve up the ocean’s essence. Or, head to Bo-Kaap’s for a fragrant bobotie or a hearty gatsby from Golden Dish Restaurant, each bite reflecting Cape Town’s cultural heritage. Treat yourself to fine dining at award-winning spots like FYN Restaurant and Salsify the Roundhouse, where chefs blend local ingredients into unforgettable dishes. And don’t miss a sip of African botanical gin at Hope Distillery or a glass of Pinotage from the region’s renowned vineyards.

🎶 Sound: Listen as the Noon Day Gun reverberates across Signal Hill—a daily reminder of Cape Town’s historical roots. Wander the V&A Waterfront, where marimba bands bring lively tunes to the harbor. Experience the interactive drumming and performances at GOLD Restaurant, which transport you into the heart of African rhythm. At Boulders Beach, the playful splashes and chirps of penguins add a touch of whimsy to your visit. Cape Town’s sounds are a mix of past and present, culture and celebration.

🌿 Scent: Let Cape Town’s aromas guide you. Visit Atlas Trading Company in Bo-Kaap for spices that have defined the city’s culinary history, or follow the scent of freshly baked bread at Babylonstoren’s farm-to-table bakery. Breathe in the natural fragrance of fynbos at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens or the salty sea breeze along Chapman’s Peak Drive. For something unique, craft a personal fragrance at Kumanov SA Perfume Museum and carry the essence of Cape Town with you.

🌅 Texture: Feel Cape Town in the textures all around you. Walk barefoot along the soft sands of Camps Bay or let the cool, salty mist from Clifton’s waves touch your skin. Hiking up Lion’s Head, the rugged stone under your hands creates a tangible connection to Cape Town’s landscape. For a tactile encounter with history, visit The Old Biscuit Mill in Woodstock, where the industrial textures reveal a story of transformation. Each touch, each step, links you closer to the spirit of Cape Town.

👀 Sight: And of course, there’s the visual masterpiece of Cape Town itself. From the peak of Table Mountain, witness the city stretching to meet the sea. Walk through Woodstock, where street art transforms walls into vibrant stories of change and resilience. Visit Zeitz MOCAA for modern African art or set sail from Clifton, where the coastline’s splendour unfolds with each passing wave. Cape Town’s visuals are a mix of natural beauty and human creativity, offering something new at every turn.

Whether you’re a local or a visitor, let this be a month of discovery. Experience Cape Town through each of your senses, uncovering the stories and connections that make this city truly unforgettable.

A Cozy Birthday Celebration at 96 Winery Road

Kay had a wonderful experience at 96 Winery Road and highly recommends it for your next special occasion! Despite the chilly Cape Town weather, you'll find the cozy atmosphere and crackling fire make this restaurant a perfect retreat. With versatile seating options, including a private section and a wine cellar, it’s ideal for any gathering.

Kay particularly enjoyed the unique "plates menu," where the portions are larger than starters but smaller than mains. Sharing a few dishes allowed her to explore a variety of flavours, each beautifully presented and bursting with taste. And if you have a sweet tooth, don’t miss out on the smooth chocolate cheesecake paired with cherry compote—it’s the perfect way to end your meal.

The friendly and attentive staff added to the welcoming ambiance, making Kay's evening even more memorable.

If you're looking for a place that combines excellent food with a warm, inviting atmosphere, Kay’s review suggests you give a try! 🍷✨

Discover the Lively Lemurs of Madagascar 🍃

In the heart of Madagascar, the “eighth continent,” lies one of nature’s most captivating showcases – the lemurs. These charismatic primates, with their wide, soulful eyes and vibrant personalities, are the essence of Madagascar’s unique ecosystem.

From the tiniest Madame Berthe’s mouse lemur, no heavier than a lightbulb, to the large, hauntingly vocal indri, lemurs are a testament to the island’s extraordinary biodiversity.

As you wander through Madagascar’s varied landscapes; from dense rainforests to arid spiny thickets – you’ll encounter lemurs lounging under the sun, their furry tails draped over tree branches, soaking in the warmth. Their remarkable adaptations, like wrist sweat glands for cooling and intricate vocalizations, make them a living spectacle of evolution.

These prosimians aren’t just beautiful to observe; they play a critical role in maintaining the delicate balance of their habitats.

Lemurs also live in complex social structures, often led by females, offering a rare glimpse into a matriarchal society where roles are reversed and females guide their troops. Their social behaviours are as diverse as their physical traits, with some boasting rare blue eyes and others communicating through elaborate scent markings.

But beyond the wonder they inspire, lemurs also carry an urgent message. With nearly 98% of their species threatened with extinction due to deforestation and hunting, lemurs symbolize the fragility of Madagascar’s ecosystems.

Each encounter with these extraordinary creatures is a call to action – to protect and preserve the natural world that supports them.

Happy African Wild Dog Day! 🌍🐾

Today, we’re shining a spotlight on one of Africa's most extraordinary and endangered species: the African Wild Dog Painted Wolves as they are affectionately known.

Despite stereotypes, African wild dogs are socially complex and loyal animals, showcasing remarkable teamwork and adaptation.

With only 6 600 remaining, urgent conservation efforts are crucial to preserving these incredible creatures and their habitats, offering opportunities to contribute and witness their beauty firsthand in destinations like South Africa's Tswalu Kalahari Reserve, Botswana's Okavango Delta or Zambia's South Luangwa. These areas are renowned for their healthy wild dog populations and offer great opportunities for sightings. 🌿📸

Traveling to Africa not only provides you with the chance to see these magnificent animals up close but also plays a crucial role in their conservation.

Responsible tourism helps fund local conservation efforts and supports anti-poaching initiatives, contributing to the protection of these endangered species and their habitats.

Every trip you take to see wildlife can make a significant impact on their survival.

5 Things You Didn’t Know About Cape Town As we journey into September, we're excited to share some fascinating and lesser-known stories about our beautiful city: 1. Did you know that Cape Town City Bowl is built on a forgotten subterranean river? The oldest name for the valley below Table Mountain is ‘Camissa’ where Khoi tribes once brought their cattle herds to drink from the groundwater springs in winter. The Dutch colonists gradually canalised these streams in the late 1600’s and then the British covered them over and built the modern sewers under the Company Gardens and surrounds. Trace the remains on an expedition with @CapeTownTunnelTours 2. Did you know that while Napoleon Bonaparte was exiled to the island of St Helena, he particularly loved Vin de Constance, the sweet wine of Constantia, which he supposedly even asked for on his deathbed in 1821, thus making it the first internationally renowned South African vintage? Hear more tales of SA wine history on a cellar tour of @GrootConstantia 3. Did you know there was once a small village on top of Table Mountain? While the unbelievably massive Victorian reservoirs were being built on the back table in the 1890’s, a light cable-car system was built on Kasteelspoort above Camps Bay to deliver materials and munitions to the workers who lived in a cluster of small cabins complete with their own post office, bank and general store. Discover the remains of this 'ghost town' at the Waterworks Museum. 4. Did you know that one of the first people to make Muizenberg Beach into a global surfing Mecca was Agatha Christie, the mystery writer? She visited ‘the Brighton of the Cape’ with her husband in 1922 and stumbled upon a lifelong passion & possibly became the first European woman to be photographed standing on a surfboard. Today her love for the beach is commemorated by a plaque on the boardwalk and her plays are performed at the local Masque Theatre. 5. Did you know that ‘The Flying Dutchma
